Playground surfaces are a key element that both governments and citizens are increasingly focusing on. When we talk about equipped play areas, we think of safe and efficient places where adults and children can feel comfortable and have fun, but also where sustainability is a top priority.
The best flooring for play areas
From this perspective, building materials are essential for designing playgrounds (and more) that are eco-friendly and inclusive , truly forward-looking. So the question arises: what are the best surfaces for playgrounds? Ecological and natural, walkable areas for recreational activities are environmentally friendly and guarantee excellent performance.
Nature stabil road , for example, is ideal for creating durable and permeable paths. The binders and materials are mixed directly on site, ensuring high drainage capacity, recyclability, robustness, and high mechanical resistance. In fact, thanks to the use of an exceptional, state-of-the-art binder, the stabilized earth does not give rise to dust or mud after rain, maximizing the preservation of play areas and making them more comfortable. It also offers excellent wear resistance and solidity.
An optimal solution for administrations that are looking for a minimally invasive solution with good economic savings, but also for those who would like to create their own play area and don't know where to start.
Open Paving products are also excellent , ideal for playground flooring. Surfaces created this way are 100% recyclable, release no pollutants, and are therefore safe. They are not classified as hazardous waste. Furthermore, the combined use of local aggregates reduces transportation costs and, consequently, air pollution.
Flooring for play areas: the most innovative examples
Times have changed and today sustainability is an essential theme, especially when it comes to play areas. In Italy, as in the rest of the world, organizations have been created in recent years that look forward and focus on a fusion between gaming, environment and innovation.
Consider Italy's first inclusive park , established in Pordenone, which used Terra Solida®'s Nature Premix , a completely eco-friendly binder-consolidant for stabilizing quarry soils or stabilized mixes. The material was used in addition to the selected soil, allowing for the creation of accessible paths through the greenery and terraces accessible even to people with disabilities. In Nardò, in the San Gerardo Park, an eco-friendly and natural paving system was created featuring high permeability, a system to prevent water stagnation and potholes, and a completely recyclable design.
